← 1 Corinthians 7:16	1 Corinthians 7:17 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 7:18 →
For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife?	But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.	Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
